Conference and Swings :)

General Conference weekend is a much anticipated event at our house, however, we discovered that it too is different now that we have a baby. I was constantly on the go, changing diapers, rocking Toph to sleep and catching a few winks myself when I could. Topher prepared himself for enlightenment despite all of this, and he was a good example to us:

Topher put on his reading glasses in anticipation. (This is actually a
glimpse into Topher's future. 2 near-sighted parents = 1 blind Topher).

He also took notes. What a smart boy!!

Switching gears, the weather here has been crazy but I think we're officially in spring. The tree are starting to bud and the sun has been out much more. On the other hand, boy has the rain been pouring!! April showers bring...New England wind apparently. It's been windy and rainy, but so nice to feel that winter is behind us (I hope I don't eat my words :). Today was beautiful, it got up to 65 degrees, and so I took Topher to the park to swing for the first time in his life. He was...excited...sort of...

Toph's attitude became cheerier as the swinging went on though, and he finally gave me some smiles :). I'm excited to be able to put Toph in shorts and let him crawl all over the park. Here he is in all his swinging cuteness:

Topher and I had a great time today and it was made even better by a great lunch/dinner with Scott. I love spring!!
